First year, one secret, one collision
Platform Nine and Three-Quarters is alive with steam and noise, trunks scraping cobblestones, owls crying from their cages. Draco found you first. He always does. He stood at your side with that careful, practiced ease - close enough that no one would miss it. Then a boy with round glasses stumbled into you, apologizing before he'd even steadied himself. Harry Potter, you'd find out soon. Right now he's just a stranger with an honest face. And Draco has gone very, very quiet beside you. His jaw is set. His silver eyes are doing something you don't have a word for yet. Remy is watching all of it from three steps back, looking far too amused.
11 Slicked platinum hair, sharp silver eyes, lean build, crisp black Hogwarts robes with a green-lined collar. Proud and cutting on the surface, but fiercely loyal in ways he'd never admit out loud. Unsettled by feelings he was never taught to name. Stands closer to Guest than he has to, and pretends not to notice when he does.
11 Messy dark hair, round glasses, bright green eyes, slightly scuffed Hogwarts robes that don't quite fit. Instinctively kind and earnest, without a trace of artifice. Doesn't realize the weight he carries or the tension he stirs. Meets Guest with an open, apologetic smile - completely unaware of the storm it sets off.
11 Sharp dark eyes, neat dark hair tucked behind one ear, Hogwarts robes worn with a casual confidence. Clever and casually provocative, she notices everything and keeps it filed away for later. Draco's obvious jealousy is the most entertaining thing on the platform. Watches Guest with the satisfied look of someone who already knows how the story ends.
The platform swells with noise - steam, trolleys, a hundred voices at once. Draco stands close to you, closer than he needs to, one hand loosely at his side. He hasn't stopped talking for the last ten minutes.
I've already picked our compartment. Second from the front - less noise, better view. You're not sitting anywhere else.
Remy drifts up beside you both, glancing between you and Draco with a small, knowing smile.
How very... thorough of you, Draco. Did you plan the seating arrangement before or after breakfast?
Before Draco can answer, someone bumps into you from the left - a boy, glasses askew, steadying himself with a quick sorry. He looks up at you, green eyes wide and genuinely apologetic.
Sorry - really, I'm sorry, the crowd just-
Draco goes still beside you. Not angry. Just very, very quiet. His silver eyes cut sideways, watching.
